A new mechanism of atmospheric CO2 absorption promoted by iron-nitrogen coupling in low-latitude oceans during ice age

It has been confirmed by a large number of studies that iron can significantly improve the carbon fixation level in the high-latitude oceans (Martinez-Garcia et al., 2014). Although there are many studies on the mechanism of ironcarbon coupling in the modem ocean, the research on ironnitrogen-carbon coupling is rare (Tagliabue et al., 2014;Song, 2010). It is of great significance for the prediction of future ocean changes to identify the key processes of modem ocean and analyze the past ocean changes.
